Topic: Arthur and Annie Day in East London (Read 655 times)

I´m desperately trying to find dates and/or a marriage record for Arthur Harold Day, born in Port Elizabeth in ca. 1906 and Annie Maria Johanna Fourie, dates unknown.They lived in East London in the late 1920s, have a son and daughter, born 1928 and 1929.They later moved to CT, where Arthur was an accountant and Annie is supposed to have died ca. 1935 but I have no records for this event either. Arthur died in 1946.Are there any Day or Fourie relatives that know this couple? I´m trying to trace their ancestors.

HiWelcome to Rootschat Have you seen Arthurs probate on familysearch.org?It seems to suggest he married again after his first wife (Jean Day formerly Fourie)died in c 1935.Gives a few more details but you may have this already, if not , I can post a link.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a tree on family search with AH Day (my maternal grandfather) and the probate record is the only document I have with an approx. birth year. Arthur Harold DAY is my grandfather and I can't find any paper trail for him besides this probate record.

His wife, my maternal grandmother, Annie Maria Johanna Fourie hasn´t any entries anywhere either, that I can find. I´m trying to establish whether his father was Harold Birkbeck DAY born in Ripley,Derbyshire - son of Arthur DAY, born 1856 in Bedfordshire, England.

The naming pattern seems to be an accurate indicator but without documented verification, I´m stuck.
